Like I said, Lunar-linux in NO POSSIBLE CONFIGURATION will limit your 
up- or down-load bandwidth usage unless you have SPECIFICALLY told it to 
do so yourself

(excuse me for being ultra-short/rude/clear on this, but otherwise we 
get misunderstandings about this and it makes both your life and ours 
harder)

if you want to check what bandwidth limit lunar uses *INTERNALLY* ITSELF 
for download sources, issue the following command (in theedge:)

lunar set DOWNLOAD_RATE

this value will be *empty* by _default_ unless you change it. it also 
does not affect ANY OTHER PROGRAM AT ALL.

hope this helps... please check your shorewall as I think it makes your 
life more complicated than you want to... perhaps you should get rid of 
it and get a real firewall anyway ;^)

sorry for all the caps!

g'luck
